		<description><![CDATA[BAAS members ventured up to lovely Marin County for a day of music played on a truly &#8216;reference-quality&#8217; system. Hosted in the lab of Sausalito Audio, we were treated to a stunning example of open-baffle speaker design and engineering. For most members, this was an introduction to this unique speaker architecture. The use of a custom DSP-based [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last Saturday, high-end manufacturer Jaton hosted Bay Area Audiophile Society members at their Fremont facility. The highlight for most was the very-cool REAL DIY (some would say &#8216;kit&#8217;) loudspeaker. A relatively petite floorstander, the vented boxes produced big, full-range sound in an acoustically-challenged room. The highlight for three members might have been the substantial door [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[BAAS membership reflects the current trends of audiophiles worldwide. As such, the majority (including myself) listen to digital these days. So it was interesting to see how our first &#8220;analog event&#8221; in several years would be received. About 30 BAAS members gathered at Jason Victor Serinus&#8217; home yesterday to listen to the latest in analog [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last Saturday, we had another great event, this time featuring two technologies that would drive by-the-numbers audiophiles batty: A room/acoustic treatment system consisting solely of small metal &#8220;cups&#8221;; and Cables whose outer layer contained a powered &#8220;EMF&#8221; element. Say what? How could these designs possibly affect the sound at the listening position, let alone improve [...]]]></description>
